From an economic perspective, i can’t even blame the devs/distributors. They’re doing exactly what is expected of them.

Make as much cash as possible, with the least effort or resources on their part. (That’s probably their company ‘ethos’)

Why would they even fix lag? It’s not like miraculously people will start spending more. Sure there may be a few people with rekindled ‘belief’ that the game is not dead and that things are going to get better. But more lag is not directly related to less income, hence they don’t ‘fix’ it. Fixing lag simply does not make them any more money, it only costs them to put a programmer onto it.

Oh and yeah, let me add a personal feeling to this. This company and business model absolutely makes me want to throw up. As such, i’ve stopped spending entirely since about a year or so now.

Kong doesn’t want to provide a stand alone client (although it already exists, they only need to change it slightly to allow us to log in to the kong servers), and the one R2 users use (and get huge benefits from concerning lag etc.) doesn’t work on Kong.

It puts words in the mouth of the original poster he/she never intended or said.
And on top of that, i think there are legal issues with the ‘editing’ practices too.

Just imagine you get accused by a court for something you have posted somewhere on the internet. But in fact, your post was edited by a moderator beforehand. It will still remain under your name. Not the moderators name.

Okay, maybe i’m stretching things and i seen too many movies, but still. It’s the whole principle of the matter I’m opposed to.

If they just flat out delete the post, then so be it. But editing is just 100 times worse.
